My working theory is the coaching staff has been more than happy to let other teams think that they are shutting off Jeffery while the offense learns to play together. He's been more aggressive this year so far, and could have had a couple more goals by now that goalies made nice plays on, but we have didn't have to ask too much of him against Georgetown because we were getting everyone involved.
In the past, if someone tried to take Pat or Chris away, Jake Taylor would go and score 7 goals. Swap out "Jake Taylor" for "Ted Lally, Luke Miller, etc" -- the guys who are getting their first real taste in the offense. Jeffery hasn't been quite as much of a decoy as Pat on one leg in the 2023 championship game, but he's going to get more opportunities to live up to the ACC freshman of the year billing from here on out.
